Izvajanje nalog in pooblastil državnega preventivnega mehanizma od začetka delovanja v letu 2008 do leta 2014 Vzgojni zavodi so na podlagi priporočil DPM posodobili in izboljšali svoje spletne strani in na njih objavili pravila bivanja in hišni red; priporočilo DPM, da individualiziran program podpiše mladostnik, se prav tako uresničuje; prav tako so vzgojni zavodi poskrbeli za ustreznejšo ureditev osebnih map mladostnikov; sprejeta je bila pobuda DPM za pripravo posebnega zakona, ki bo urejal področje delovanja vzgojnih zavodov, pa tudi pobuda za izdelavo smernic za vzgojni načrt v vzgojnih zavodih in s tem jasnejših pravil bivanja v njih. On the basis of NPM recommendations, educational institutions updated and improved their websites and published their house rules. The NPM recommendation that an individualised plan should be signed by adolescents is also being acted on. The educational institutions also provided a more suitable arrangement of adolescents’ personal files. The NPM proposal to draft a special act on the field of educational institutions was accepted, including the proposal for the preparation of guidelines for an educational plan in educational institutions and thus clearer rules about living in them. Zavodi za prestajanje kazni zapora in Prevzgojni dom Radeče so na podlagi naših priporočil poskrbeli za: ažuriranje hišnih in dnevih redov posameznih zavodov; dostop do predpisov, ki se nanašajo na izvrševanje kazenskih sankcij in varstvo človekovih pravic; popravilo poškodovane zavodske opreme in naprav, da se prepreči nastanek še večje škode; zamenjavo iztrošenega in dotrajanega zavodskega inventarja in uvedbo evidenc za sprotno beleženje nastanka in odprave okvar; siceršnje izboljšanje bivanjskih razmer na obiskanih krajih odvzema prostosti, kar je spodbudno in hkrati potrjuje namen našega delovanja; zagotovili so bistveno več možnosti za telefoniranje za vse zaprte osebe in sprejeli ukrepe za kakovostnejše prestajanje kazni zapora; povečali so organizirane dejavnosti; spodbudili nadaljnji razvoj izobraževalnih dejavnosti v zavodih; poskrbeli za ponudbo novih programov in motiviranje obsojencev za vključitev vanje; nekateri zavodi so poskrbeli za nadomestitev manjkajočega jedilnega pribora pri obrokih hrane; poskrbeli so tudi za doslednejše izpolnjevanje rubrik v posameznih evidencah, ki jih zavodi vodijo; uredili zapise o odločitvah za namestitev v strožji režim prestajanja kazni zapora; sprejeli ukrepe za optimalnejšo uporabo bolniške sobe; poskrbeli za boljšo zdravstveno oskrbo zaprtih oseb in nasploh humanejše ravnanje z zaprtimi osebami. On the basis of our recommendations, prisons and Radeče Juvenile Correctional Facility have updated house rules in individual facilities; enabled access to regulations on the enforcement of criminal sanctions and protection of human rights; repaired damaged equipment and devices in order to prevent greater damage; replaced used and worn out equipment, and ensured the keeping of prompt records on the occurrence and elimination of malfunctions; generally improved living conditions at places of deprivation of liberty, which is encouraging and also confirms the purpose of our operations. The institutions provided prisoners with significantly more opportunities for making calls and have taken measures to improve the quality of incarceration. They provided more organised activities, stimulated the development of educational activities at the facilities, and provided new programmes and motivation for prisoners to participate in them. Some institutions replaced cutlery and started completing items in individual records more consistently. They arranged records on decisions relating to accommodation in stricter regimes, adopted measures for the more optimal use of patient rooms, improved the medical care of prisoners and generally more humane treatment of prisoners. Tudi psihiatrične bolnišnice so na podlagi priporočil DPM poskrbele za: doslednejše spoštovanje določb Zakona o duševnem zdravju (ZDZdr) ob sprejemu oseb in njihovem zadržanju na oddelkih pod posebnim nadzorom; odpravo napak pri uvedbi in dokumentiranju posebnih varovalnih ukrepov; boljše informiranje o pravicah pacientov; prijetnejši videz oddelkov pod posebnim nadzorom oziroma zagotovitev pacientom prijaznih prostorov; namestitev nabiralnikov za oddajo pritožb in ustreznejše postopke ob pacientovi smrti. Za doslednejše spoštovanje določb ZDZdr ob sprejemu in namestitvi oseb v varovalne oddelke so skladno s priporočili poskrbeli tudi domovi starejših in posebni socialnovarstveni zavodi; po naših priporočilih so bile natančneje in pravilneje opredeljene pravne podlage za namestitev stanovalcev na varovalne oddelke; dodatno se je razvil koncept obravnave oseb z demenco; domovi so poskrbeli za prijetnejši videz varovalnih oddelkov; pripravo manjkajočih individualnih načrtov, s katerimi se upoštevajo potrebe in želje stanovalcev; boljše informiranje o pravicah stanovalcev (tudi z zloženkami); poskrbeli so za namestitev nabiralnikov za pritožbe; odpravo napak pri uvedbi in dokumentiranju posebnih varovalnih ukrepov (tudi s spremembo in dopolnitvijo obrazcev); ureditev možnosti za kajenje; namestitev klicnih zvoncev oziroma za boljši nadzor nad odzivnim časom pri klicih z varovalnega oddelka. Vojska je v prostorih za pridržanje vojaških oseb dopolnila evidence pridržanj; poskrbela je za označitev prostorov za pridržanje; označitev prostora za zaslišanje z nalepko; na naš predlog je bila ustanovljena tudi delovna skupina za pripravo predloga sprememb Pravilnika za izgradnjo prostorov za pridržanje v Slovenski vojski oziroma vojaški policiji, da se uskladijo zahtevani standardi po pravilniku z dejanskim stanjem prostorov za pridržanje, ki jih uporablja vojaška policija. Mednarodne in druge dejavnosti DPM Poleg obiskov krajev odvzema prostosti DPM opravlja tudi vrsto drugih aktivnosti, kot so: priprava predlogov in pripomb k veljavnim ali predlaganim zakonom; priprava in izvedba predstavitev za tuje delegacije oziroma obiskovalce; priprava odgovorov na vprašanja različnih mrež DPM; udeležba na srečanjih idr. Člani DPM sodelujemo pri različnih dogodkih doma in v tujini, tako da predstavljamo svoje delovanje in dosedanje izkušnje. Doslej smo v ta namen organizirali tudi veliko študijskih obiskov delegacij iz različnih držav (npr. Armenije, Estonije, Srbije, Makedonije, Albanije, Tadžikistana, Češke, Gruzije, Azerbajdžana in Kazahstana). Hkrati organiziramo pogovore s predstavniki posameznih državnih organov (tudi z ministri) in tudi drugače predstavljamo naše delovanje na tem področju (na Policijski akademiji v Tacnu, Fakulteti za varnostne vede in tiskovnih konferencah). Za vse člane DPM (tudi za sodelujoče nevladne organizacije) pripravljamo različne oblike izobraževanja in delovna srečanja, na katerih obravnavamo vidike našega skupnega delovanja. 16 Implementation of Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2014 poročilo o izvajanju nalog DPM v letu 2014 DržavnI preventivnI mehanizEm po Opcijskem protokolu h Konvenciji OZN proti mučenju in drugim krutim, nečloveškim ali poniževalnim kaznim ali ravnanju On the basis of NPM recommendations, psychiatric hospitals provided more consistent observance of provisions of the Mental Health Act (ZDZdr) upon the admission of persons and their detention in secure wards; eliminated errors when implementing and recording special protection measures; improved the provision of information on patients’ rights; improved the appearance of secure wards or provision of patient-friendly premises; installed boxes for collecting complaints, and established appropriate procedures upon a patient’s death. Retirement homes and special social care institutions also ensured more consistent observation of the ZDZdr provisions upon the admission and accommodation of persons in secure wards. On the basis of our recommendations, the legal bases for accommodating residents in secure wards were defined in more detail and more accurately. The concept of discussing people suffering from dementia was further developed. The retirement homes provided a more friendly appearance for secure wards, prepared missing individual plans with which they observed the needs and wishes of their residents; improved the provision of information on residents’ rights (also by brochures); installed boxes for collecting complaints; eliminated errors when implementing and recording special protection measures (also by changing and amending the forms); arranged smoking facilities, and installed alarms to improve response times for calls from the secure ward. In its detention rooms, the Slovenian Armed Forces supplemented the detention records and marked detention and interrogation rooms with labels. A working group was appointed at our proposal to prepare a proposal to amend the Rules on the construction of detention facilities for the Slovenian Armed Forces or military police in order to harmonise standards required as per the Rules on the actual condition of detention rooms used by military police. International and other activities of the NPM In addition to visiting places of deprivation of liberty, the NPM also implements many other activities, such as preparing proposals and comments to applicable or drafted acts, preparing and giving presentations to foreign delegations or visitors, preparing replies to questions from different NPM networks, participating at meetings etc. NPM members participate at various national and international events by presenting our operations and current experience. For this purpose, we have organised many study visits of delegations from different countries (e.g. Armenia, Estonia, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Tajikistan, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan). We also organise discussions with representatives of individual state authorities (also ministers) and also present our work in this field elsewhere (the Police Academy in Tacen, Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, press conferences). Different forms of training and work meetings are organised for all NPM members (including participating NGOs) at which we discuss aspects of our joint operations.
